MODSIM2017 Student Awards

The student awards are proudly sponsored by the Capability Systems Centre, UNSW Canberra

Policy and Guidelines

All student presentations accompanied by a full paper will be evaluated by the session organiser, stream leader or deputy, or a nominated proxy. On the basis of these evaluations, commendations will be awarded to the best student presentations. No less than 5% and no more than 15% of students will be awarded commendations. The commendation will take the form of a certificate and complimentary registration at MODSIM 2019.

Students awarded commendations will be selected on the basis of the quality of their presentations in the following manner:

Prior to the MODSIM 2017 Congress, session organisers, stream leaders and deputies will be e-mailed a list of students and asked to evaluate them for student awards.

Student presentations which are unable to be evaluated by session organisers due for example to a conflict of interest (being a supervisor or co-author on the paper) will be evaluated by a stream leader, deputy or proxy.

Members of the student awards committee will also evaluate any student presentations that they attend.

Student evaluation sheets will be available for collection from and return to a box at the registration desk and will also be provided to session organisers prior to the conference.

On the basis of these evaluation sheets, no less than 5% and no more than 15% of student presentations will be selected to receive commendations.

The percentage of students receiving awards in each of the Streams will lie between 5% and 15%.

Notes:

Only students who submit a full paper will be eligible for the student prize.

The definition of a student is anyone who is currently enrolled full-time in an Honours, Masters, or PhD program and who has enrolled in the Congress as a student.
